Overall, this is a fantastic cigar. All of the transitions from each third made the cigar quite interesting and enjoyable. The size of the cigar makes the time to smoke the cigar quite nice for when you’re short on time. The strength and flavor of the cigar are all right between medium and full. I would recommend this cigar to friends and family, and it is definitely one that will be in my rotation.

Blind Cigar Review: Montecristo | Espada Oscuro Guard
"I was leery about the first third, hoping it may have some complexity of this blend, however i was delightfully surprised bu the last two thirds. A menagerie of roasted and tasty charred flavors intermingling with sweet caramel and chocolate flavors made this end up being two thumbs up for me! Paired with flawless appearance, construction and burn made it all the better. Top notch med-full bodied smoke!" -John A. (Bostoneo)

Rocky Patel Sixty Toro - Blind Cigar Review
"Very spicy cigar from beginning to end. The only exception was on the cold draw, which has sweet tea notes. The spicy notes include notes of cinnamon, jalapeno, and black pepper, and licorice. Veiny construction and hard spots that don't hinder the pleasure. Good draw and burn. Very strong grey-white ash that hangs on for half of the cigar. I'd smoke this stick again and include in my humidor." -Sean F. (fullermaine)

Blind Cigar Review: Caldwell | Eastern Standard Corretto
"While there was a little bit of concern from the mid-point on, all in all this cigar offered a very pleasant smoking experience. The transitions from start to finish were well defined and each complimented the next. It is firmly in the medium full range in strength and body, and would be most enjoyed by smokers with a little experience under their belt to truly appreciate what the cigar has to offer. This is definitely a cigar I would like to smoke again. " -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)
